"If you don't want to rest, come and carry this basket of potatoes to the warehouse, and Yaya will pick them up," Fang Nuo said.
"Okay, I'll finish digging the ditch and carry it on my back," Shen Gongqi said.
"Okay, let's go back first." Fang Nuo heard her promise and went to the umbrella wash to get Yaya's milk bottle and water bottle, as well as their two water bottles, and took them home.
When she got home, she put Yaya in the yard and said to her: "Mom wants to cook. You can play by yourself in a shady place and don't go out of the yard. Do you understand?"
"Yaya wants to eat melon"
"Okay, I'll cut a few pieces for you later," Fang Nuo promised.
Then get the basket and go to the vegetable patch in the backyard to get some vegetables for cooking.
She came back with a full basket and a watermelon in her hand.
Fang Nuo washed a melon, cut a few pieces, and put them in a small bowl.
Then he took Yaya to clean her hands before giving her the small bowl of melon to eat.
For lunch, Fang Nuo is going to fry two dishes and eat meatloaf as the main dish.
She posted the noodles this morning, and they are now ready.
She went to the vat, fished out some sauerkraut and chopped it, then chopped some pork and a piece, added the seasoning and stirred it evenly.
Then roll out the dough, wrap the filling, and press into a palm-sized round cake.
Brush a thin layer of oil on the bottom of the pan, place the hot spots on the pancakes, and cook the pancakes before they are cooked.
She made more than twenty pies at once, then fried bacon and beans, and then fried cabbage with chili.
In another pot, she steamed two small steamed buns specially made for Yaya, as well as a bowl of steamed eggs.
After everything is done, pack it in a lunch box and put it in a basket.
Fang Nuo also put the watermelon he had just picked in a cloth bag, and filled the empty water bottle with the herbal tea brewed at home. After putting it on the table, he called Yaya: "Yaya, let's go, we are going to the fields."
Little Yaya ran out of the house. Seeing that her mother had picked up all the things, she ran to her side.
Fang Nuo locked the door again and took Yaya out to the fields.
When we arrived at the field, many people in the field had started to have lunch under the trees.
Fang Nuo walked to the field they shared and saw Shen Gongqi still digging potatoes, which made her a little angry.
Why doesn't this person listen to himself when it comes to work?
"Brother Qi, come to eat" Fang Nuo shouted
"Okay, I'll come right away," Shen Gongqi replied.
After hearing his reply, Fang Nuo took the basket and took Yaya to the tree on the edge of their field. He spread the tablecloth on the ground, threw two medicine bags beside it, and put all the food in the basket into the ground. Set up.
When Shen Gongqi came, she poured water for her to wash her hands and muttered: "Didn't I let you rest for a while before I left? Why are you so disobedient?"
"Hey, I had a rest, but you didn't see it," Shen Gongqi said with a smile.
"Don't laugh, don't think I don't know you lied," Fang Nuo said.
"Xiao Nuo, don't be angry, I will definitely listen to you next time," Shen Gongqi said
"What if you still don't listen?" Fang Nuo asked
"Then punish me to work more," Shen Gongqi replied.
When Fang Nuo heard this, she wanted to give him a few big looks, but she didn't continue, thinking that no matter what she said, this person was like this.
So he stopped talking and said, "Let's eat."
"Okay, what did you do today? I just smelled the fragrance in the fields," Shen Gongqi said.
"I made some pies today, made with pickled cabbage and pork," Fang Nuo said, picking up a pancake and handing it to him.
Then he took out Yaya's custard and steamed buns, placed them in front of her and said, "Eat it, do you want some pie?"
Yaya looked at the big white steamed buns in her bowl and the custard that she was tired of eating. Then she looked at the pancakes they were eating. They smelled delicious and said, "Yaya wants to try it."
Fang Nuo picked one up, broke off a small piece, and put it in an empty bowl. After blowing it, it could no longer be heated, and then gave the empty bowl to her and said, "Eat it. Mom will share it with you if you like it."
"Xiao Nuo, the pancakes you make are so delicious. I can eat twenty of these pancakes." Shen Gongqi had already eaten one, and was praising him as he ate.
"I've done a lot, that's enough," Fang Nuo replied with a smile.
Yaya almost ate one pancake in one meal. Although she was tired of the custard, she still ate some.
Because her mother said that she is still growing and needs all kinds of nutrients. If she is picky about food, she will not look good in the future.
Fang Nuo couldn't eat the rest of what she ate, so it all went into Shen Gongqi's stomach.
When her father was eating custard, Yaya also said, "Isn't my father also afraid of looking ugly?"
One sentence made Fang Nuo laugh so hard.
Shen Gongqi knew that Fang Nuo usually used this trick to persuade Yaya to eat things he didn't like, so in order for his wife to teach her children better in the future, he still nodded and said: "Yes, dad is also afraid of growing ugly. , so Yaya will be like her father in the future and eat whatever her mother gives her, so that she can have all kinds of nutrients."
"Okay, Yaya won't be picky about food anymore."
"Okay, finish eating soon, we have to continue working during the break," Fang Nuo said.
“That’s it”
After the three of them had lunch and rested under the tree for a while, Fang Nuo took out the watermelon he had brought. With a flick of his fingers, the melon split open.
Shen Gongqi broke it open, then put half of it in a tree and hung it on a tree to eat. The other half was eaten by a family of three with a spoon.
After eating the melon, Yaya was carried back to play with toys under her umbrella, while the two of them continued digging potatoes in the sun.
Both of them put on hats in the afternoon, otherwise they would be several degrees darker after the autumn harvest.
In the next few days, they were digging potatoes. They worked from morning to night every day, and both of them got fifteen work points.
Fang Nuo worked the first day, and almost couldn't get up the next morning because his whole body was sore.
She persisted and worked for another day, and the discomfort on her body was relieved a lot.
After harvesting potatoes, we started harvesting corn. There was a lot of corn planted in the village, and it took everyone almost half a month to harvest all the corn.
Behind them are harvesting soybeans and various beans, cutting corn stalks, and digging sweet potatoes.
It has been more than half a month since they finished doing all this. After finishing the work in the field, they moved to the drying field, peeling corn husks, threshing and drying,
The beans are almost done drying, and it’s time to start threshing them.
After working like this for more than ten days, all the grain was bagged and put into the warehouse, and the autumn harvest was finally over.
After the autumn harvest was over, no one could rest. The land had to be dug out to plant wheat, and the corn stalks inside had to be shaken out for use in the fire.
The people were divided into two groups. One group went to deliver the public grain to the grain station and handed it over, while the other group continued to work in the fields.
After the public grain is handed over, the grain will be distributed. Otherwise, all the grain will be stored in the village warehouse, and several people will have to take turns to guard it every day. If the grain is lost, the villagers will be hungry in the second half of the year.
Shen Gongqi was selected to deliver public grain, and Fang Nuo took Yaya to the field at home to shake the corn stalks dug out of the ground.
